    Art History
Style is a characteristic handling of media, techniques, and elements of form, that give a work its identity as the product of a particular person, group, art movement, period, or culture. The emergence of a new art style does not necessarily mean the replacement of an existing style. Because a style once existed during a certain time period does not mean that it will not return.

Middle Ages/Renaissance, Modernism/Post Modern, neoclassicism impressionism, pointillism, cubism, fauvism, expressionism.

Fine Art/Applied Art
The craft of weaving is an ancient applied art. Loom, Warp and Weft.

The following statements relate to "Design Disciplines" in applied art areas.

• Design may be considered as a medium for persuasion.
• Design is concerned with function as well as appearance.
• Design simplifies use, manufacture, and maintenance.
• Design may be considered as an instrument for organization.
• Design can save money by reducing the cost of labor, materials, and production.
• Design must perform in response to human needs.
• Most professional designers believe that products and machines are to be kept subordinate to human beings.
• Design enhances communication. It allows more people to understand a given message and accelerates learning.
• Design is finding the best solution to a problem within the limitations of the problem.
• Design may be considered as a method for improving safety and efficiency.
• Design is an urgent requirement, not a cosmetic addition. 
• Design is essential to survival.

Architecture grows out of human needs and aspirations and communicates the values of the culture that created it.

Graphic Design - photography, illustration, symbolism, typography.

Creativity/Originality.

Encouraging creativity - stimulating creativity. The creative process is cyclic as each stage provides new stimulus. Exposure, incubation, illumination, execution.

Art is a form of expression giving order to a human's reaction to his/her environment.

Art instructs, reminds, and persuades, and has the potential to guide the people and values of the culture that has produced it.

Art communicates and extends experience, gives form to feelings, searches for and demonstrates reality.

Artists react and respond to current intellectual atmospheres, recent scientific and technological discoveries, and artistic creation of the past.

Subject, Form, Content.

Form is all the perceivable characteristics of a work of art and their arrangement or structure.

Elements: Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture

The nature of a mark.

Color - Hue, Value, Chroma.

Color is a neurophysiological, psychological response associated with light frequency stimulus. Color is not absolute, it is a subjective perception influenced by experience and environment. Light (additive) RGB. Pigment (subtractive) Yellow, Magenta, Cyan.

Principles: Harmony, Variety, Dominance, Balance, Proportion, Movement, Economy.

Figurative, Representational, Non-objective, Abstraction.

Analysis of form in the criticism of art can assist in the discovery or interpretation of content and the evaluation of communication effectiveness.

“Form Follows Function”.

“Beauty” in art does not mean a presentation of an attractive ideal. Beauty means having qualities of a high order, capable of delighting the eye, or engaging the intellect or moral sense.

Beauty can occur when works of art embrace whatever is spiritually expressive, even if the expressiveness is achieved by discord, harshness or unsparing realism.

The aesthetic response to art manifests itself as a sensing, feeling, awareness that something has been received from the work of art. It is enhanced by an understanding of symbolism used by the artist and knowledge of the artist's sources of inspiration.

Linear approach to form: shapes are defined by outline or contour.

Painterly approach to form: imagery is developed as open masses of color or value rather than closed linear shapes.

Design is activity by or for a definite reason. Design is structure, order, organization. Design is rational and intellectual.

The graphic computer - hardware, software, image processing, user friendly.

Painting - Pigment, binder, vehicle, prime, support, ground, fresco, glaze, impasto, positive, negative, biomorphic, geometric.

Decorative/plastic, chiaroscuro, value key, atmospheric perspective/linear perspective.

Printmaking - relief, intaglio, planographic.

Woodcut, lithograph, etching, engraving, serigraph, edition.

Sculpture - Additive, Subtractive, Substitutive (casting). Alloy.

When selecting a medium the artist may consider the desired aesthetic appearance, durability and permanence, cost and availability, facilities required, experience with the medium, time requirements.

Static art:  light source and position of the viewer are variables which affect the appearance of sculpture. Kinetic art: motion and time are additional variables.

Advantages of creating three-dimensional art work include: 3-D artwork can be viewed from many positions and illusions are not necessary to depict plastic space. The “substance” or durability of most 3-D works makes them long lasting. The “presence” of sculpture has an aesthetic impact in that it physically shares three-dimensional space with the viewer.
